Botswana vs New Zealand: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Botswana
- New Zealand
How they compare
Botswana currently reports 0.2816 Mt CO2e against 0.2492 Mt CO2e in New Zealand, a difference of 0.0324 Mt CO2e.
That makes Botswana's figure about 1.1 times New Zealand's.
The two have swapped places 13 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was New Zealand ahead.
Botswana ranks 101st and New Zealand ranks 104th of 204 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Botswana averaged higher in 3 and New Zealand in 3.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from industrial processes including IPCC 2006 codes 2.A.1 Cement production, 2.A.2 Lime production, 2.A.3 Glass Production, 2.A.4 Other Process Uses of Carbonates, 2.B Chemical Industry, 2.C Metal Industry, 2.D Non-Energy Products from Fuels and Solvent Use, 2.E Electronics Industry, 2.F Product Uses as Substitutes for Ozone Depleting Substances, 2.G Other Product Manufacture and Use and 5.A Indirect N2O emissions from the atmospheric deposition of nitrogen in NOx and NH3). The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
